...quietly divine performance, William Hurt plays Brett, a man with no one to greet him when he gets out of prison. He walks to a café, orders a beer, sits down to write a letter and observes the town tartlet (she's very young) get rejected by a boy who has obviously used her. Martine (Kristen Stewart) spins on her heel, lights on Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), the first male she spots in her age range, and offers to go off with him instead.

"Sarkozy also knows Europe's defense industry is still largely divided along national lines and appears destined for huge restructuring and consolidation. The nation with the biggest contracts out will get the biggest slice of that consolidated European pie - which is why neither the Mistral deal nor Russia as a military market should be underestimated...
